Buford you spelt a hocht wrong in the title.
The gaelghoiri's will be after you.

I am also very poor.

Edit: also spelt feirmeoir wrong.

Glad your not dead.

Why not look on the positive side? He spelled a and an correctly.

Freaky. Clicked on there a minute ago and not sure how but was back about 100 pages without realizing it. Talk of Foynes airshow Kollegeknight in a Clare jersey and a quote from Pedigree 6.
Confused to say the least until i cop where i was.

Well he could be another Jaegarbomb. There something to maybe not knowing who, your father was, but no knowing your mother!!!

Great evening here, going around in a t-shirt all day. Thermometer in the jeep was saying it was 16° an hour ago. Had some of the cows in for dosing and a bolus aswell as tagging and dehorning a few calves, sweat was running off me. Place is still swimming but it would give you a bit of hope all the same. Nice to see stock stretched out taking in the sun again.

Water John · 07-04-2018 05:21PM

Yeah, just a diff mother. Not saying that about Ped 6 now.

CHOPS01 · 07-04-2018 05:21PM

Was up the yard this morning and had left wellies here at home. Stuck on the old pair which were near all the empty feed bags. Only after i came back down home i realized how dirty the socks. Mouse ****. Dirty fcukers must have been living in the wellies.

Lady Haywire · 07-04-2018 05:26PM

Was a super day alright, dug two ridges with the old loy (fcuk dad and his left handed loy, pain in the hole for me to use) and stuck onion sets in them. Also planted a heap of flowers around the old house so hopefully they'll come up.

They might come in handy as supplementary fodder yet.
Great day, got all the silage ground fertilised. It had been awhile since I had been out an about the farm. Even with the poor temps the ground that got Urea last month has really come on, and not just green there's grass there.
Hopefully things will really start moving now.

You're lucky.
I thought I was in an alternate universe there for a while.

And give the delivery driver a kick up the hole

In fairness he's a really jolly lad, couldnt fall out with him. All smiles, he was asking me how we are for feed etc , apologised about 20 times

These things pop up now on my phone.

An article from Achim Gerlach a vet based in Germany on feeding activated carbon (biochar) to cattle.

Wouldn't it be great if coccidiosis could be dealt with without drugs.

Got a delivery of kerosene this morning. I have a new bunded tank. The delivery man dropped the inner lid down between the two tanks. I can see it at the bottom on top of the outlet. My options are try to fish it up, dont think this will work. Try and source a lid off someone's old tank. Open the screws that hold the outer lid on and take up the lid, would this mean the seal wouldn't be as affective when I put the screws back in?
Or ring the manufacturer and ask for a new lid.....

Does the outer skin have a drain plug? Going to suggest something daft here. If you could drain the outer bund would it be possible to fill it with water and maybe the lid might float. Let the water go when you've retrieved the lid.

I think the handiest thing is just to ring the tank crowd on Monday, my dad was at it for a while today. We got a lid off a knapsack sprayer and its just sitting on it and the outer lid is closed and locked

Spring/Summer must have arrived, not only did i spot a swallow today but the curlews (or one curlew anyway) is calling there now.

How the hell do the swallows arrive in Leitrim before they do in Wexford??

They must come into the south of England from France and then follow the canals up to Liverpool and come across that way.

I'm liking the canals theory.

They fly over to Dublin and follow the royal canal up to your place.
There was a swallow spotted in loais two days ago. Probably followed the grand canal.

I wouldn't bet on the canal theory. Stupid as it may be we (our family and close friends) phone each other as soon as we see our first swallow - its a kudos type thing

I have seen swallows in Longford 10 days before my siblings saw them in NCD/Dub City and Donegal.

Final answer?

Doesn't mean they don't use them as motorways with grub on route.
They just get off the motorways on different points for their final destination and the same swallows always return to their birthplace.

Thanks for the link, I enjoyed reading it.
Getting back to the swallows - one wonders how they managed to find their way back home (to their original nesting sites) prior to the Plantation :rolleyes:

kollegeknight · 07-04-2018 11:31PM

Long time since I posted. Trying to finish the house. Had a few cows calves and kept busy.
At a wedding today. Oh had a false alarm yday... down to maternity ward. Today then, had to bring her to shannondoc during the starter/soup for another one. He said no baby tonight so I’m having a pint, nerves are wrecked.

Animals adapt.
We adapt ourselves. We use motorways ourselves now with self driving cars.
You don't think swallows always had cow sheds to build their nests in?

The same way racing pigeons follow real roads and motorways as a guide.

Who wouldn't like a straightish route with a big Mac on every mile and then a travel lodge in the reeds at night?

(If a pigeon can fly from wexford to Belfast in 5 hours or less I reckon a swallow could travel to any part of Ireland upon entering the country in a day or at most two.)
